Besson 981/982 & JinBao 700 valve bore

[Wyvern]

According to the Besson website the 981/981 EEb has a 17.3mm (0.681") bore, while the JinBao 700 is listed with larger bore of 17.5mm (0.69").

However this week I had chance to compare slides and in actual fact the two models are identical bore. I tried a valve slide from the JinBao and it fitted perfect in the Besson (not tight, or loose)

I just wanted to correct previous statement I made. It seems like the measurements on the Besson website are incorrect.

i am wondering if a tunin gslide from the Jin bao would fit a besson 981 (or my older boosey & Hawkes)

If so would you be able to get one?

Are you talking about main tuning slide Ken? In which case I will check next Monday

[ken k]

yes the main slide. i would like to be able to get slide stock to make a longer tuning slide if possible.
